Description
We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic band 5 Occupational Therapist (OT) to fill this role.

It is an exciting opportunity as it is a development post, with the potential to reach band 6 within a year.

You will need to have some experience as a band 5 already, either working in a hospital or working in the community.

This is an ideal opportunity for an OT to enhance their skills in managing patients with conditions that require time, support and guidance.

Patients are seen 1:1 or on line.

A post has become available within the Essex Community ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) Service. This service is well-established and respected.

It is a small, friendly multi-disciplinary team which provides a service to patients with CFS, fibromyalgia and other long term conditions throughout the whole of Essex.

The team is based at the Tyrells in Benfleet and the post holder will also be required to work from home on some days, as well as needing to travel to other Essex-wide clinic locations.


We recognise that this is a very specialist area of OT and so we are looking for someone with 'transferable skills' and a depth of character suited to working with this patient group.

Further training will be provided, as well as support, guidance and supervision from a band 7 OT.

You will also be able to attend our fortnightly team meeting to ensure that communication, support and discussion about patients and service developments are cascaded and discussed as a team.
